    2.4 ghz versus 5.8 ghz

    I had the same thing with not having a choice on bands. It gave me a message about being in a different region. Shortly after it switched again and I had the 2.4 and 5.8 choices. Hasn't done it again. I've been told on another forum that it has to do with gps strength but it looks like you...

    No problems so far.

    I also have had no real issues with the Spark, using RC. Only 'bug' I've seen is the dronie mode doesn't gain much altitude. No connection issues. Overall, a very positive experience with the Spark.

    Are you happy with your Spark?

    I've been very happy with the Spark from first flight on. I'm pretty new at this but have found it very easy to fly and quick to get in the air and start taking images and videos and the full res images are pretty good. 4K would be nice but I can live without it for now. I don't really care...

    Selfie in gesture mode issue..

    As active track is using the same camera to track you, that makes sense. If you are not in active track the images are full res. It's so easy just to fly it up and take a full res image, it's really not a problem for me I understand it may be for others.

    Manually select frequency band with RC

    I've noticed that if I don't have a gps signal, the 5.8 option is not there. As soon as the I have strong gps signal, the option appears. I've had it give me a message that I'm in a different region when I have no gps, which is probably why the 5.8 option goes away.

    DJI Forum filled with horror stories

    Being a newbie I haven't tried any distance records. The farthest I have recorded is 490 ft. about 150 meters. I am using the RC. The connection was stable throughout the flight. Haven't tried it with just the phone.

    DJI Forum filled with horror stories

    I would be willing to bet most are not having significant problems. The forums are the first place people go when they do have issues so you get a kind of biased view. When deciding on either a Mavic or the Spark, I read a lot of early Mavic forum posts and they initially had the same kind of...

    DJI Forum filled with horror stories

    Well, as a first time flyer, I was able to get it in the air, take pictures and video without any connection issues. I've been flying for 4 days now (in between rain storms) and haven't had any connection problems. Was in beginner mode for first couple of flights but have gone past that now. The...

    Dronie, Rocket, Helix Quickshot's ALL DON'T WORK!

    Dronie works the same way for me, very little vertical gain. From reading other forums it appears DJI knows about this and some issue with Helix. I haven't tried helix due to reported issues. Rocket and circle work fine for me. I am using the RC. Best, WPS

    How/Where are people getting their fly more combos from?

    From Newegg. White combo. Ordered on 5/30, received 6/19. Two days early from what FedEx tracking said.

    Order Timestamp and Shipping

    After being told by Newegg yesterday that my white fly more combo (ordered 5/30/17) would not ship until the 30th (original ship date was to be the 12th), I just received a tracking number and expected delivery on the 20th. It is being shipped directly from DJI. Apparently DJI didn't keep Newegg...

    Order Timestamp and Shipping

    So much for getting the combo early from Newegg. Email on the 11th said it would ship on the 12th, it didn't and then that it would ship in 1-2 days which it also didn't. The pending charge on my CC has now gone as it has been over 72 hours and it did not convert to a charge. Contacted Newegg...

    Order Timestamp and Shipping

    Actually, it's being shipped directly by DJI.

    Order Timestamp and Shipping

    Well, the email I received from Newegg said my order would ship yesterday. It did not ship and it now says will ship in 1-2 days. My credit card charge was pending yesterday but has been charged today. Best, WPS
